source

Source is a website dedicated to "advocating for, shining a spotlight on, and helping to generate community around the code that's being written in journalism." It's built with Django, using Mozilla's Playdoh web app template.

Configuration

The app has a base settings file that can be found at source/settings/base.py, you can override any of the values there inside a local.py file.

cp source/settings/local.py-dist source/settings/local.py

Please ensure that you create your own SECRET_KEY and HMAC_KEY

You can point your database config to sqlite for quick testing, or if you'd rather use MySQL, you'll need to create a new database. Adjust the DATABASES dict in source/settings/local.py accordingly, and then
